Every year, the George Hoy Excellence in Tourism Award is presented to a deserving individual or entity that exemplifies tourism in Northeast Ohio. George Hoy was an Adventures member for over 30 years, he was the proprietor of the Inn at Brandywine Falls, and he was a strong advocate for NE Ohio tourism. George joined the tourism industry when he retired from his “real job” and was devoted until his death in 2018. George was also a significant financial supporter of Adventures in Northeast Ohio, especially when he and Katie would shop the holiday auction! George was a tourism champion & friend to all of us, and it is in his honor we present this award.
